Open Atrium will not install using PHP 5.2.17

Since that is an error in the date_ical module, it should be reported there and not here so it can get fixed. However, I can certainly increase the requirements for the oa_events plugin to require PHP 5.3.

Fortunately I think this is only an issue for the Feeds importer, so I might separate the oa_events_import into a separate project so people who don't need the iCal import functionality can still use oa_events without PHP 5.3.

If this gets fixed in date_ical module, please post the issue link here so I can update OA2 to use the correct version.

It appears the date_ical module is for php5.3 and they're not supporting php5.2.

HP 5.3 is required by the iCalcreator library to properly handle timezone data. Date iCal might work with PHP 5.2, but that configuration is untested and unsupported.

How do I go about installing Atrium without this functionality?

oa_events_import is now a separate module, so remove that module from your OA2 installation and then it should be fine.

Don't plan any additional action on this in OA2 however. As I said, it's really something that needs addressing in the Date iCal module.

Can you provide more info on how to remove the module? There's no option in the setup process to disable individual modules, and simply deleting the files for the module causes setup to fail, at least once the installation has started.

Should I delete everything and re-run setup on a clean install from which I've already removed the module? Can I run setup to completion without PHP 5.3 that way?

OK, well I tried re-installing from scratch with the module removed and that didn't work either. The Verify Requirements step of setup shows that the module is missing and won't proceed without it. So I'm still not sure how to remove this module from OA and get on with setting it up.

FWIW, I was able to work around this and get past the Install Profile step with PHP 5.2.17.

I did the following:

1. In /profiles/openatrium/ I edited the openatrium.info file and put a semicolon in front of dependencies[] = oa_events_import (line 123)
2. In /profiles/openatrium/modules/contrib/oa_events/ I edited the oa_events.info file and put a semicolon in front of dependencies[] = date_ical (line 10)
3. I also deleted the folder date_ical from the /profiles/openatrium/modules/contrib/ folder, but this may have been unnecessary. It may be that just commenting out the dependencies from the .info files is enough, since I didn't have to delete the oa_events folder.

@jimdoria:

Thanks for the tip, the installer just finished installing the profile. Btw step 3 is not necessary since you've removed all references for the date_ical module in steps 1 and 2.

Whew! Much obliged for this hack, jimdoria. Step 3 does appear to be necessary. I tried with only remarking the depencies in info files, and installation still failed. After deleting the folder, it installed. Too bad the distro includes these breaking modules.

Excellent!
